Milford Rocks blends serene lifestyle with working farm in Brisbane Valley
Picturesque South East Queensland property Milford Rocks offers a quality combination of country lifestyle and productive beef cattle operation, just an hour’s drive from Brisbane and 56 kilometres from Toowoomba.
The 1,150-hectare property at Anduramba features a prestigious five-bedroom homestead, with a 12-metre in-ground pool, set among manicured gardens, and sweeping green lawns, benefitting from an average annual rainfall of 723mm.
With an estimated carrying capacity of 240 breeders, Milford Rocks is equipped with two sets of well-maintained steel cattle yards, as well as fencing and a laneway system to ensure efficient movement of livestock.
LAWD Director Grant Veivers said the sale of the property was an exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-maintained working beef cattle property in a serene country environment.
“With its open grazing land, lush natural bushland, high peaks, and peaceful gullies, Milford Rocks offers a perfect blend of work and lifestyle,” Mr Veivers said.
Secure water for livestock is sourced from a groundwater bore into a 250,000-litre steel header tank, before being reticulated through poly pipes to numerous concrete troughs across the property. This is complemented by fresh water from 18 catchment dams and numerous seasonal and permanent spring-fed creeks.
Land types are predominantly bluegum timber on granite, transitioning to stands of ironbark timber on the eastern side of the property, interspersed with smaller areas of bluegum alluvial flats along the water courses.
Soils comprise a mix of sandy clay loams interspersed with fertile dark grey to dark brown cracking clays. Pastures are a productive mix of Rhodes and panic grasses, as well as seasonal legumes and herbages.
The property is fenced to all boundaries and subdivided into eight paddocks. The internal laneway system connects the two sets of cattle yards, which feature round yard drafts, vet crushes, cattle dips, loading ramps and water.
Other operational improvements include a 110sqm hay and storage shed, two machinery sheds – one being 270sqm and a second workshop of 125sqm with five bays, including two lock-up bays with roller door access – and a set of stables covering 175sqm.
Constructed in 2012, the prestigious single-storey 392sqm replica Queenslander homestead comprises a master bedroom with ensuite and built in wardrobe, as well as four additional bedrooms, a bathroom and powder room, kitchen, living and dining areas, and an expansive front verandah to enjoy the valley views.
Milford Rocks is accessed from the formed and gravelled Waterhole Gully Road and is well serviced by nearby Crows Nest township, which provides a broad range of essential services, including retail, financial, medical, educational (primary and secondary), and agricultural.
Key infrastructure for beef production is within easy reach, including livestock saleyards at Toogoolawah, Toowoomba and Dalby, and processing facilities at Crows Nest, Esk and Kilcoy.
